Nicki Minaj gets targeted in yet another Hidden Hills swatting call.

For the fourth time since 2023, the Anaconda rapper's LA home was the target of a prank call known as "swatting." According to the LA Times, someone called the cops on her home, falsely claiming that an assault with a deadly weapon had taken place on Wednesday, April 9.

The person in question claimed that a friend fired shots at a Black adult female at 7:05 p.m., and that there were two suspects at Nicki's home, clad in all black. However, cops arrived at the scene to find no such thing, and the incident was later deemed a swatting call.

Droves online are expressing worry for the rapper, such as this one user who suggested that she move out altogether:

"she needs to get rid of that la home, this is so annoying & unsafe"

Even more chimed in to voice their concern:

"Why are they not investigating this??? Like it’s getting really weird atp…" one user noted.
"Can they leave my baby TF alone, she doesn’t bother nobody!!! Let her liveeeeeeeee," another fan demanded.
"Sad. If I’m not mistaken her address is public information because of her husband. Each time a false claim is made she should be able to press charges against the person. Stan sh*t aside….. she doesn’t deserve this. No artist does," yet another echoed.

The comments didn't end there:

"This is vile and should get everyone outraged , putting a black woman and her toddler in danger ain't no game," someone penned.
"Nicki needs to push these people to investigate the matter, this is no on," another noted.
"people should face consequences for reporting fake news to the police. that’s literally illegal," yet another chimed in.
"Why can’t they track those callers and ACTUALLY arrest those people?! They have done the same thing to Madison Beer over and over too!" one fan exclaimed.

Scores online pointed out that Nicki Minaj is mother to a toddler, and that such a prank could put both of them in grave danger. Others demanded that the incident bear consequences for the perpetrator, with many noting that it's illegal to pull such a prank in the first place.


Everything we know about the attacks against Nicki Minaj:

As reported by Billboard, the prank call in question came in via a business line, which makes it hard to trace. At the time of writing, neither Nicki Minaj nor the Los Angeles Police Department have commented on the situation.

Nonetheless, this isn't the first time the singer has gone through something like this. Back in June 2023, police were called to her residence after they were falsely tipped off about child abuse. Just a month later, they responded to similar claims of a shooting. However, Nicki Minaj eventually confronted the prankster, a woman who orchestrated the debacle:

“To the woman who made those swatting calls to my home… #WasItWorthItDumbo,” she tweeted out in August of that year. “Stephanie Bell. A warrant is in the system. Great detective work. So grateful. The DA filed one count for the swatting call and one for the false report to DCFS. To God be the glory.”

Nicki Minaj purchased the 12,000-square-foot property for $19.5 million in 2022. It is located in the exclusive San Fernando Valley enclave.
